To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LoUIs DNKEIBBEBG, citizen of the United States, and resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Goggles, of which the followin is a specification. My invention re ates to an eye guard or shield,V to be used by persons engaged in various occupations and is designed to protect the4 eyes against the action of dust, fumes, gases, 1t, etc.

The inveiitlon consists in roviding an eye guard in which the frame 1s constructed of suitable material, preferably of lluloid rovided with two lens sections connected y a bridge piece, of sufficient fiexibility to enable the lenses to assume proper osition on the wearer. Each lens portion 1s so constructed, that yit will fit snugly against the flesh of the wearer, around the eye, to exclude dust,.dirt, grit or chips and these lenses are suiciently far apart, with respect to the nose piece or bridge, so as not to 1m inge on the bridge of the nose, and thus tting snugly around the eyes, to protect them from material getting between the'rim and the flesh, at the side of the nose of the wearer.

The invention 'further consists in the J lenses'- being held in position from which they can be quickly removed and others substituted, and are held in position by means of a spring, which is provided at each end and inthe center, withsmall promotions,

' thaty fit into auslot provided 'in the sides of the wall, and which can be removed by simply pressing the end inwardly, to release the projections, and the glass p or lens can be quickly removed and another substituted.

. The frame Iis provided at or near the edge with a slot to which an elastic band mayA be 4ailixed, (not'shown) to serve as a strap to hold the goggles in position.

In Athe accompanying drawings Y 1 is a front elevation of the eye 2 is a cross' section on line 2f-2 of Fig. 4 is a top view of the holding spring, 1n normal condition, showing the projections and the central portionsbent to form a projection for the purposes described.

In the drawing in Fig. 1, 10 is the bridge section,A uniting the lens cups 11 and 12, which hold the lenses 13 and 14, which lenses are held in place in the cups 11 and 12 by the springs 15 and 16, the spring 15 being provided at its central portion with an integral outward extension 15, and at one end with an outward extended portion 15b and at its other end with an outward integral portion 15, while the spring 16 is formed with a central outward. extension 16 and having an outward extension 16b at one end thereof and a similar extension 16c at its other end, the said extensions formed on each spring being fitted into openings formed in the walls of the. lens cups adapted to register with said extensions, whereby the said lenses 13 and 14 are securely seated and held in contact with the innersurface of the annular inward projecting fianges 13a and'14, respectively.

The sidewalls, 11 and 12, may be perforated i desired as shown, although this is not essential. These walls are anged and curved in form to fit closelyto the face, the ends of 'which walls are each provided with a slot, to receive a band or strings, to tie at the back ofthe head to hold the goggles in place. i

Having described my invention what I claim is:

. 1. An eye shield or goggle, made from one piece of material, havlng lens receiving openings; the bridge piece uniting the two sections, each of said sections havlnga rearwardly projecting extension, in curved form, to lit closely to the face and having lenses fixed within said openings and held in place by a removable spring, said spring having projections at each end and about the center, that engage with other openings in the frame of the cups to receive the same.

2. An eye shield or gloggle, made of a single piece of material` avlng lens receiving openings; the bridge piece 'uniting the two sections, each section having an inward projecting iange adapted to receive the lenses placed within said openings, and a removable spring carried by each section, each spring having en extension at each endl and at its central portion adapted to engaI @with openings formed in each section, w ereby each lens is securely seated and held in contact with the inward projecting flange of each section.

Sliqgned at New York city, in the count of ew York and State of New York this 10 18th day of Jennery, A. D. 1917.
